And you thought Earthfare was expensive…
So what will $30 dollars get you here? Depends on what you want.
$30 = Coffee- 6 cups.
$30 = Bus fair- about 20 days worth.
$30 = 2 meals, maybe 3 (but some places will get you about 5)
$30 = Packs of smokes- 5
$30 = BART rides- 5 depending on where you’re going
$30 = Movie- 3 at the cinema
$30 = Groceries- 1 loaf of bread, 1 jar of peanut butter, 1 Bear worth of honey, 2 apples, 2 oranges, 6 bananas, 1 pack of rice cakes, 1 tomato, 1 avocado, a box of sandwich baggies, 1 box of cheese nip like crackers, and 1 (4 uses) box of tide. No partridge nor the pear tree. Just those simple items.
So you have to choose very carefully what it is you want to do. You can see how it can all add up.
2nd job? Oh yeah. 3rd job? Just might for the heck of it.

And what about the rents there? I’d heard it was one of the most expensive places to live. Can’t wait to get back to Buenos Aires, where
$30 will get me about a week’s rent, or about ten good meals eating out, or about 14 bottles of a good Argentinian wine which goes for $10/bottle at Earth Faire, or about
a hundred bus or subway rides…

Sounds wonderful. I may come down to see you around the new year if I don’t make other plans. The rent isn’t that bad. The only difference with Asheville is that A: the places are smaller B: you don’t have to pay utilities in the city for the most part. C: you have amazing views most of the time D: it’s not Asheville.
